Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams smoked salmon
- 200 grams whole wheat flour
- 50 grams protein powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 large eggs
- 150 grams plain Greek yogurt
- 100 grams cream cheese
- 100 milliliters milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a loaf pan with a bit of butter or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until pale and frothy. Mix in the Greek yogurt, cream cheese, and milk until smooth and well combined.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the smoked salmon, chopped fresh dill, and lemon zest until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the high protein smoked salmon and cream cheese bread on its own or with a salad for a complete meal.
